Slashdot Mirror


Using Images as Passwords

TekkenLaw writes "According to this news on Reuters, MS is looking at images rather than plain old text for enhancing security. The key - images, which tend to make more of an impression on people than strings of text characters. This is especially interesting in context of the crappy passwords story that ran on Slashdot that ran few days back." So when you call support to get your lost password, will they ask you what your mothers maiden hair color was?

    hey
    don't write yourself off yet
    it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
    just try your best
    try everything you can
    and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

    hey you know they're all the same
    you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
    live right now
    just be yourself
    it doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else

    it just takes some time
    little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
    everything everything will be just fine
    everything everything will be all right

    do your best
    do everything you can
    don't you worry what thier bitter hearts are going to say

    Shut the fuck up, Krout. We hate you. You are almost as bad as Katz for your extreme homosexuality. monolinux.com is the shittiest piece of trash I have ever seen in my life. Thank you very much!
